Not to be confused with Camembert. Brie (/briË/; French: [bÊi]) is a soft cow's milk cheese named after Brie, the French region from which it originated (roughly corresponding to the modern dÃ©partement of Seine-et-Marne). It is pale in color with a slight grayish tinge under a rind of white mold.
Brie de Meux, Brie de Melun, and many other brie cheeses are made from cow's milk, but several brie cheeses are made from goat's milk. Some people (especially the French) enjoy Brie Noir, a brie that has been aged nearly a year. Their brie rinds are black, and the taste and smell are pungent, unlike regular brie.
